vramlets - when will they ever learn?

haven't seen debo in awhile. what happened to him?

comfy thread of comfy ui

>>105902389
Now this is shitposting, impressive.

Fuck vramlets. If you have less than 16gb vram you need to fuck off.

>>105883588

>>105902476
Why do animated characters never shut up? Feels like most gens always have the chars talking or singing

>>105902484
because whoever trained the model used videos of characters talking.

>>105902500
Wondering if there's a way to make them shut up
Because i have that problem all the time in my gens

If I have a bunch of video prompts queued, and one video starts generating while I am on a different workflow, will it continue using it's original prompt from the workflow it belongs to? I ask because I see nodes activating on the currently open workflow, even though this video isn't the one being generated

Anyone have any tips for batch generation in ComfyUI? Like I wanna have it run a list of prompts and dump outputs in a folder

>>105902679
mouth movement/talking/etc in the negatives

>>105902655
im a big fan of abstract work. we need more gens like this

>>105902851
>mouth movement
Won't this limit their expression too? I don't want them to talk but they should still be capable of changing their mouth expression dynamically.

beginner comfyui user here, been on forgeui for a little while, was forced to switch cos my forge randomly stopped working and was unfixable.
but liking how much faster (and accurate?) comfy has been so far!
if anyone has general wuick advice or must have nodes or such please let me know

>>105902860
depends. add more strength to the positive prompt of a particular mouth expression you want

>>105902835
Yes, the browser just sends workflow file to the backend to execute.

>>105902865
>was forced to switch cos my forge randomly stopped working and was unfixable
If you couldn't fix forge you definitely won't survive using comfy.

What is the final redpill on FramePack? Was it worth abandoning Forge for?

>>105902922
because vramlets.

>>105902883
no it was literally unsalvageable lol. i did a whole reinstallation from scratch and it didn't help either. pc just decided that forge was constantly low on vram for no reason at all when it wasn't even being half used

>>105902899
i don't get it, why does this thread bully people posting gens?

where is the sequel to this?

What are you anons hopes and expectations for Wan 2.2 (which we know nothing about other than the fact it will be released)?

My hopes:
- Better prompt adherence (by far the most important thing)
- Longer videos than 5 sec
- Performance improvements
- All in one video model (the same model does both 720p and 480p, as well as T2I, T2V and I2V)

Expectations:
- Meme shit like adding audio to the videos like veo 3 (chinks like to copy the fancy stuff big tech do instead of improving the fundamentals)

now that kontext is over and done with, what are next?

>>105903476
We are never getting a local release for that.

>>105903482
> ponyv7 is releasing in 2 weeks
if it's still based on auraflow it's gonna be doa. the model is slow as balls and really shit to train loras for.

>>105903482
>chroma v50 will be releasing in a few weeks
Won't that take a full month or so per epoch when lodestone starts training the final two epochs in 1024p?
As far as I remember the timeline for v50 is October

>>105903494
It is, and yeah i'm not looking forward to it. I know some people might though, so it deserves a mention.

>>105903504
Yes I nearly forgot. Eitherway, there's plenty to look forward to. Exciting times for the local scene

>can't even shut up while gooning

This is what (((they))) don't want you to know

>>105903645
damn

these wan anime finetunes suck, there is barely a difference using base wan. too much 3dpd in the datasets just fucks everything

>>105903645

>>105903815
>there is barely a difference using base wan
There is clearly a difference. Base wan is nowhere near as dynamic and not trained for nsfw.

I'm looking at some things on the Wan 2.1 repo and seeing some stuff that I don't see often in guides:

1) They say you should prompt in chinese because the model was trained on image to text pairs in chinese. this feels easy enough with google translate or whatever.
2) They mention doing "prompt extension" a ton as THE way to get a good result from Wan. I'm a comfy noob, can someone show me how to use this in comfy with qwen?

this is the guide I've been using. I've got stuff genning but am having a hard time with good prompt adherence (like removing clothes)
https://rentry.org/wan21kjguide

Can I use distances in metres in my prompt or does AI have no clue about that?

>>105903645
my body when I'm trying to get a good night's rest

>>105903832
>like removing clothes
if you mean dynamically removing clothes, like a video of a character declothing, I highly doubt it's possible to get a good result.

I'm dense and ignorant. Where can I find the latest release of Chroma?

>>105903645

>>105903831
just use a lora instead of downloading another 15gb checkpoint. I think you might be retarded if you think it's more dynamic

>>105903889
it's absolutely necessary unless you want to waste your time

>>105903906
>lora
Too limited
>I think you might be retarded if you think it's more dynamic
I've compared several dozen instances using the same base image you laughable idiot. There is absolutely no question aniwan is more dynamic and animated.

>>105903922
it's the same 3d-esque slop as wan retard. it's not convincingly anime. the subjects have morphing anatomy too. just looks like the realistic and 3d data are fucking everything over

Is Flux supposed to be so slow or is it just the Forge implementation? Trying it out on a 5090, it takes 67 seconds for one base res gen on the full Dev version and 35 seconds on flux1-dev-bnb-nf4-v2.

the torrent from the last thread

I will never remove it from my list

It's virus :)

>>105903935
sounds about right. welcome to why people don't use flux often

>>105903933
Cry more idiot. You have no clue what you are talking about.

>>105903954
are those tears anon? why be such a cry-baby when you hear the truth?

>>105903950
Yeah kinda not worth it to me, back to anime slopping I go.

>>105903962
No need to project your insecurities, idiot. It's clear you don't like it when people don't see things your way. I'm happy to keep correctly labeling you what you are: a moron :)

>>105903935
catbox an image and I'll compare

>>105903968
>No need to project your insecurities
then why are you? we all want an anime video model that's good but I can't excuse this slop job

>>105903983
You're on your own here, idiot. Nothing's perfect but aniwan is far better than your garbage loras lmao. You are terrible at training.

I'm trying to create a Flux Kontext nudify lora (an actually good one). To make the dataset, I am taking images of nude women in various poses, and prompting the model with "The woman is standing. She is wearing [insert outfit here]."

I will automate this process so I can generate a dataset on hundreds or even thousands of images. Now, the problem is that ~30% of the time, the model makes no changes whatsoever to the image, literally just copy pastes it pixel by pixel. How do I avoid this? It is preventing the automation. With a 30% failure rate, manual review and rerunning things will be very time consuming.

>>105904017
this is actually against the eula and bghira will do the needful

Anything new on the realism coomer front or are lustify and bigASP merges still the GOAT

>>105904079

None of them do what I want to make videos of.
There needs to be much more activity in this space but there are too many vramlets.

what are the actual advantages between comfyui and forge?

I just got a 5090 laptop and started using comfy for video. it took a while to get used to the interface, but now that I'm using it it's not too bad (coming from automatic a few years ago)

forgefags claim huge speedups but I'm not a ramlette so I have no clue if this is true, and maybe they are just referring to automatic

>>105904079
Can you name specific merges that are good? I'm looking for some good realistic porn model myself.

>>105904283
Haha damn communists

>>105904259
>>105904287
that would kick ass

>>105904308
Biglust is okay but those bigASP merges are all pretty similar imo

>>105904153
NTA, initial loading+first gen takes <30 sec on comfyui, subsequent gens take ~11 sec on my 5090FE with those setting (flux dev).
>picrel

>>105904182
No both are completely new versions

>>105904151
there is too much shit software as well. we expect the models to do everything automatically but most models are shit and need some sort of tooling to guide it

>>105904307
forge has better img2img support options. comfy has optimizations that will regularly break itself so you have to constantly go through a humiliation ritual to stay current

What's the best way to generate chinese prompts for wan2.1?

>>105904307
>>105904433
should have asked too, is there any possibility of video diffusion on anything other than comfy in the near future?

>>105904509
https://github.com/deepbeepmeep/Wan2GP

>>105904518
>can't load custom checkpoints

>>105904307
forge is a slow, buggy piece of shit that doesn't support most models. has tons of snake oil extensions built in. but the UI makes some things easier than comfy.

I used a1111 and forge for years but gave up after many breaking changes,crashes, etc. have never had any such issues with comfy.

Can anyone go into more detail on the speed optimizations for wan in the rentry guide? Specifically this part:

>fp16_fast : remove --fast from run_nvidia_gpu.bat.
>Sage Attention : remove --use-sage-attention from run_nvidia_gpu.bat
>AdaptiveGuidance : set the AdaptiveGuidance node to a threshold of 1
>Torch Compile : right click on the TorchCompileModelWanVideo node and click Bypass
>TeaCache : right click the TeaCache node and click Bypass

How do each of these things affect the quality of the gen? Like what kind of specific effect will --fast and Torch Compile have on the final result? And how much time in % is each one likely to save by being on? I know there's a node comment saying Torch Compile is a 30% speed boost.

>>105904420
>we expect the models to do everything automatically
Only a retard would expect this, this tech is in its infancy

>>105902244 (OP)
Is it possible to quantize the weights of vae? I understand it is already a small model in most cases, but I am wondering if it is theoretically possible to do so. Without severely impacting quality of the decoded image.

>>105904358
Thanks, guess it's time to move to Comfy (sigh).

>>105904618
funny you should ask. i'm doing a comparison at the moment

>>105904528
>he can't change the name of a finetune to trick it into loading

>>105902244 (OP)
I really, really, really like this image

Do vramlets have any hope of generating good videos?

>>105904953
Yes. Just wait TM without hacky solutions like distilled turbo vaes, quality reducing optimizations like --fast, etc.
Good video gen is doable on my 12gb card. It just takes fucking forever.

>>105904307

>>105905070
>glowie splash page

>>105905053
>It just takes fucking forever.
The whole point of making it fast is so you can gen more frequently. The more you gen, the good gens you get.

in a previous thread someone was asking why people are still using 1, 1.5, sdxl and pony as it is considered "slop" and only poor thirdies use it.
I think I have struggled with illustrious for a month trying to get good eyes, tits and puss and unless I make a super convoluted workfow, inpaint and Adetailer, it's barely passable.
Compare this to 1.5 + lora, DONE.
I don't understand how after a year, we've gone backwards with regular gens.

>>105905070
> bloatware
> botnet

yeah sure buddy.

>>105904391
Ate they still XL models or what are they gonna use as a base?

>>105905100
I would personally try my odds with a few proper gens than many quickly shat out garbage.
These fast methods typically do not give you good gens to pick from.
If you want fast gens that also have high chance of being good, you need to spend money.

what should the strength be for video loras where you're trying to emulate a gesture?

>>105905119
>I think I have struggled with illustrious for a month trying to get good eyes, tits and puss
I don't even remember the last time I had issues with this, unless you're trying to use some unique artstyle which the model has trouble with?

Enough of the lies!

For those who are new to this hobby and are reading this, ignore the positive shilling of ComfyUI.
About a year ago, the UI started to bloat and use API nodes.
ComfyUI is only good for Flux and Videogen, but who has 24 GB and 96 GB of VRAM for video generation? Obviously, then, the API nodes will start to have meaning.
Don't waste your time on ComfyUI.
Loading GTA 6 on a PC is as stressful as loading ComfyUI. However, with Forge or Reforge, it would be like opening MS Paint or CMD.

>>105905369
The fact we have dedicated anti-shills like this is concerning. ComfyUI is making someone very upset, which means it's good and works.

I know popular things get an equal amount of haters, but this is sad.

>>105905369
>but who has 24 GB
I do and had so for like 5 years now.
first I had a 3090, then a 4090 and now I'm looking to buy a 5090 (they are still hard to find where I live).

why cant you afford a good GPU and why are you even bothering with AI when you cant afford one?
maybe get a hobby for poor people, you'd be much happier.

>>105904358
Okay, I tried Comfy and confirmed that it's much faster there, but your speeds are much better, I wonder why. For me, the first gen took 40 seconds and the subsequent gens all take between 16 and 17.5 seconds. I tried replicating your settings (literally the first time using Comfy) and everything seems right? https://litter.catbox.moe/v47aeibx0bq2j39i.png The gpu and vram usage are maxed out according to Afterburner, so it doesn't look like it's under-utilizing the gpu. I usually have my gpu undevolted, but also tried genning with and without the undervolt and the results are more or less the same. Any idea why yours is so much faster?

i'm not sure why i thought changing the optimization settings would create a totally different video. i guess i read long ago that changing the step count on a given seed would do that, and then my brain just mixed it up. anyway, left is default /ldg/ workflow with the 720p model and modelsamplingsd3 set to 5. on the right since i disabled tea cache i had to use the SkipLayerGuidanceDiTSimple node that was recently added, with double layers set to 9 and single layers left empty, same start and end percent

If a Lora on Civitai has a base model of "SD 1.5", does that mean it can only be used with SD 1.5? And if so, where is the download?

>>105905369
Enough of the lies!

For those who are new to this hobby and are reading this, ignore the positive shilling of generative AI.
About a year ago, my C: drive started to bloat and run out of space.
Generative AI is only good for gooning and taking up space, but who has 1 TB and 4 TB of storage for all of your gens? Obviously, then, the Onedrive will start to have meaning.
Don't waste your time on generative AI.
Loading GTA 6 on a PC is as stressful as genning. However, with MS Paint or Photoshop, it would be like opening Notepad.

>>105905448
your disk read and RAM speeds might be slower. the initial prompt processing also takes time, then subsequent gens using the same prompt are faster (see the 28s followed by 10s gens). they might also be using --fast or --use-sage-attention or on a different version of pytorch. linux is also faster than windows, generally.

>>105905369
ForgeUI is still the best overall, comfy is only if you want to tinker with and finetune workflows and/or if you have autism. In 99% of cases Forge does the same as comfy while being far less annoying

>>105905598
forge is abandonware

>>105905563
>If a Lora on Civitai has a base model of "SD 1.5", does that mean it can only be used with SD 1.5?
Yes, technically no though. Using loras not trained on the base model you use don't tend to work well. The reason it works in some cases is because the base model was already trained on the SD1.5 lora.

>And if so, where is the download?
The download for what, the lora or SD 1.5? You'd need to search for SD1.5 checkpoints. There's dozens of fine tunes and shitmixes.

I struggled with IL for one day before understanding I had to use specific image dimensions.
Nowadays, you have a shit ton of good IL-based checkpoints that make it even more brainless to use.
It’s still my go to workflow for anime NSFW.

>>105905601

>>105905615
is it lightx2v but a checkpoint instead of a lora?

>>105905598
>ForgeUI is still the best overall
I used Forge and absolutely hated it. I would have dropped AI completely if that's all I had to use. As a creative person, the static tabbed design limited my ability to express modular workflow designs. With ComfyUI, I feel right at home. If you like that particular UI, then I respect your preference, but to make a blanket statement that it's "the best" is being duplicitous.

>>105905355
Try:
https://civitai.com/models/24149?modelVersionId=1151831

The only times the faces are ok are upon closeup, but anything full frame body is a mess.
And it's weird because any other model doesn't do this at all.

>>105905619
is 1024 the problem? >.<

>>105905634
i think its like fusionX except without the shitty loras fused in.

>>105905266
It depends on each individual lora, rest of your prompt, whether you use other loras, etc.
No one can give you a one size fits all answer.
Check what strength other people using the same lora use on civit.

>>105905677
unfortunately they tend to omit the lora weights

>>105905686

You should be able to find it unless explicitly pruned.

I started as a complete noob and it took me like an hour to figure out how comfy works.
and I wouldnt say I'm a very smart person to begin with. so how fucking retarded do you have to be to struggle in learning comfyUI?

>>105905827
It's fucking annoying

>>105905827
the real autistic people cant deal with noodles or open ended designs. they cant focus. they need everything to be structured the exact same way, all the time.

>>105905668
I just used Mistoon_Anime v1.0 XL. It works fine. I don't have any of the issues you mentioned with any XL checkpoint I use.

>is 1024 the problem? >.<
No, because I use 1024x1024 quite often without any issues either.

It would be helpful if you posted your workflow or exact prompt + loras you used.

>>105905827

How the fuck do you use Krita?
You can in theory paint a bunch of colours, you make a sketch and that is enough for getting guided generations but it's not doing anything at all.

Not entirely sure (I'm not an expert, just started a month ago) but try following the WanX (video) guide in the OP as well as it help you install some optimizations like SageAttention/Triton/PyTorch which I don't think is included by default. The .bat auto installer in the guide does install the old version of SageAttention though (SageAttention 2.2 aka SageAttention2++ is the latest which supposedly improves the speed on RTX 40xx (sm89) and 50xx (sm120) GPUs, which is what I have installed).

Overall, Comfy is the best inference solution, it supports practically everything and it is updated very often.

Forge was a challenger, but now it's practically in maintenance mode, although it got Chroma suport recently.

Swarm is bloat wrapping around Comfy, pointless.

InvokeAI is proprietary with a crippled freeware version and slow to support new stuff, still if you are deep into inpainting, it is the best tool.

Comfy could be much better, so many simple things require third-party-quickly-deprecated extensions, but beggars can't be choosers, Comfy is the best we have.

>>105905780
good inpainting interface
great file library management system
presets
a lot of stuff baked into the base interface like autoseg
can switch between the ui and comfy on a fly

>>105906060
Don't listen to him, forge is better than comfyUI.
Comfy has the linuxtard approach where you can do 1000 useless tasks no one asked for and no one uses, but fails in the most basic stuff like having a dragging system that works, not breaking every second and a """"comfortable UI""""" designed for human beings.

That program was made by an antisocial autist and it shows.

>like having a dragging system that works
The dragging works fine.

>not breaking every second
Custom nodes breaking isn't Comfy's fault. The UI undergoes significant improvements and changes, so it's only natural the api/backend changes to make things more optimized, streamlined and sane. This is normal.

If you have a particular grievance or bug, open a PR. I've linked both the frontend and backend for your convenience, Anon.

Bro, what are you even doing? Do you not know the Bookmark (rgthree) node exists? You set a hotkey and it zooms in on that portion of the workflow. I never have to drag anything.

For example
Number 1 = setup
Number 2 = samplers
Number 3 = previews
etc

>>105906325
>i mean, if i click to drag the workflow and then let go it will click on whatever the cursor is hovering on.
uhh what. i use the middle mouse to drag the workflow and that doesnt happen?

The only issue I've had with ComfyUI is that it's fucking stupid that you have to download 1 gorillion custom nodes to get things that should just be core features. And that doing so breaks shit every time you have to update.

ComfyUI has no hires fix button. That makes it worthless.

The dragging doesn't work fine. If you make a node UI the first thing would be to ensure dragging and clicking has no errors. And the UI is a mess, you can't identify anything there

>>105906449
>I have downloaded 114 nodes and see no problems
This is exactly the problem.
You can't even do simple operations in a node UI without downloading 100 extra tools.

ComfyUI is not comfy

>>105906719
All those custom nodes I have are for personal niche things I want to do. I don't think they should all be in core comfy. My main workflow only uses maybe 10. WAN workflow uses 10. Post processing workflow uses maybe 20. Others are experimental niche case things.

>>105906785

>>105906882
we just got sub graphs, a very powerful feature. and despite your hate, supporting api nodes was important. cloud models like veo3 are obviously ahead of local models, so being able to use comfy as a ui to interface with them keeps comfy relevant across the ai space.

>>105906900
yeah it's pretty good for that

>>105906932
man, shit the fuck up shill. sub graphs should not have taken years to get in. it should have been there on fucking release. i don't know who the fuck they hired but 90% of the comfyorg team is made up of fucking retards

I use reforge for noobai/illu anime gens, it's way faster for using tag autocomplete, civitai helper for lora management, adetailer, reactor, controlnets, etc.

but for video and kontext comfy is fine. once you have a good workflow you can just reuse it.

>>105907091
you keep saying it's faster but that's extremely vague. what is faster? ui response? generations? inference speed? that tells me almost nothing. comfy is fast for me. tag autocomplete from pysss works fine, lora manager by willmiao is MILES better than civitai helper. It even has a chrome extension so you can seamlessly queue loras for download. adetailer already exists as a node, controlnets work fine as nodes, etc. there is absolutely nothing I need from forge.

ai "art" isn't real art you faggots

>>105907142
that's an awful amount of loli, sir. mind explaining yourself

>>105907142
civitai helper is great for lora management and I can do controlnet stuff or adetailer or reactor without needing to draw a bunch of nodes/connections.

comfy is fine when you have a set, static workflow.

>>105907061
if comfy was good there wouldn't be any valid complaints. you spend most of your time arguing with people that already made up their minds. the future is not comfy. get over it

>>105907181
>civitai helper is great for lora management
So is Lora Manager, hence the name.

>I can do controlnet stuff or adetailer or reactor without needing to draw a bunch of nodes/connections.
It takes all of 5 seconds to connect the noodles.

>comfy is fine when you have a set, static workflow.
That ideally should be the end result of all workflows. Once everything is connected it's a matter of changing a few parameters to get the results you want. I don't think a 'dynamic workflow' is even a thing.

>>105907188
>if comfy was good there wouldn't be any valid complaints.
What kind of logic is that? Krita has valid complaints. Photoshop has valid complaints. Blender has valid complaints. Literally every software ever created has a small minority of users that hate them, which is why alternatives exist. Does that mean all those software are bad? No. There will never be a unicorn UI that pleases everyone.

THAT is the fucking issue and why so many people complain. it also crashes all the fucking time because the "ecosystem" is full of volatile deps or is just a grift

>>105906558

>another episode of anistudio being perma butthurt comfy threw him in the trash can

>>105907234
If I want to do controlnet stuff in reforge I just tick a box, or two. or for adetailer. it's just simpler for doing anime gens.

comfy is fine for wan 2.1 and kontext though. but if I wanted to add functionality other than a save image node, then I need a rocket science manual to figure out what nodes I need and what connections.

Funny because I was given advice to lower it to 0.6 to help counter the frequent dimming. Any time I put in a brightly lit image, x2v would always dim it immediately and there was nothing I could do about it.

x2v worked fine with some images but teacache is more reliable and consistent in my case, even if the gen time is twice as long.

https://files.catbox.moe/s9qkzc.png

it's not perfect, has a tendency to change colors a bit (better than USDU does though, with no tiling artifacts) and I'd welcome any suggested improvements. it does a pretty good job and handles all art styles I've attempted, including anime.

genning at these resolutions requires more VRAM even if it's SDXL. I have a 7900 XTX so I have no issues with this. IDK if it'll run on 16GB.

recommended SDXL models for this workflow, the best depends on what you're upscaling and how you tweak the settings:

>comfyui is just a way to string scripts together from people who have never used art software before. THAT is the fucking issue and why so many people complain
people misunderstand what the purpose of comfy is, the field is still young and there is no "correct" way to implement things and do things, new advancements, improvements, features and optimizations and coming out basically every other day, the only way you can keep up with those is if you have a modular workflow that allows every part of it to be easily changed (especially by the community through plugins)

you are supposed to use krita with it for better control and swarm ui for simpler ui if you want that, but comfyui is something to easily make and edit workflows, the actual fine grained image editing ui part that its missing should just be done in krita/swarm, implementing everything in one place is simply not possible given the work required to stay on top of everything in the field that changes every day
